Quiet, outdoor community among the Ponderosa Pines
Bennett Estates sits 4 miles south of downtown Flagstaff in Northern Arizona. This San Francisco Peak Mountain community sits further from the freeway and the sounds of the city. “It’s a private and quite place to live,” says local Jacquie Kellogg, owner and broker of West USA Realty Flagstaff. “With it being older, the homes aren’t cookie cutter, and lots of nearby trails are easily accessible.” North America’s largest ponderosa pine forest envelopes the neighborhood here, and parks are open year-round. Shopping and dining establishments are just a few miles away.

Playgrounds and trails with mountain views
Parks and trails sit just outside of Bennett Estates. Roughly 1 mile north at 3-acre Bow and Arrow Park, kids shoot some hoops on the basketball court or zoom down playground slides, while hikers head east along Zuni Drive to trek the dirt-packed Bow and Arrow Trail. The Ponderosa Trails Park is found about 1 mile northwest; its 8 acres holds a playground and a covered ramada with one grill. A roughly 3-mile paved trail runs along the park’s western edge, extending south toward the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, and is popular with walkers and bikers looking to enjoy views of the San Francisco Peaks. Members of Pine Canyon Country Club to the east can play on the 19-hole golf course or get professional tennis lessons. Nearby community houses of worship include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Bridge Church.

Tribal celebration and a downtown art walk
Every June, the Museum of Northern Arizona hosts the annual Heritage Festival on its forested grounds, 3 miles north of downtown Flagstaff. Serving as a celebration of area tribal communities, this two-day event features local Native American artists selling hand-made crafts, including traditional Hopi jewelry and Pueblo wooden carvings, along with solo hoop dance demonstrations, in which a tribal member contorts hoops (think hula-hoops) into different designs. Kids have just as much fun here watching puppet shows and coloring together. Downtown Flagstaff hosts a First Friday Art Walk, starting in July, where local businesses and organizations display and sell their collections along Historic Route 66.
The Museum Club is a great place to enjoy live music and get your dance on.
Local art work in the downtown area of Flagstaff is just a short drive from Bennett Estates.

Ranch- and Craftsman-style homes on larger lots
Bennett Estates is an older, established neighborhood with ranch- and split-level Craftsman-style homes built during the 1970s and ‘80s. Well-manicured lawns and rock-edged foundations here are shaded by mature pine trees; wide driveways lead to two-car garages. Many sit on elevated lots with wooden steps ascending to front doors. “With homes here on larger lots, you can’t stick your hand out the window and touch your neighbor,” says Kellogg. A three-bedroom ranch-style ranges from $650,000 to $740,000, while a four-bedroom split-level Craftsman-style sells between $850,000 to $950,000.
This lovely split level home is one of a few in the neighborhood of Bennett Estates.

Increased fire risk and flooding
“Fires are always a risk here,” says Melinda T. Morfin, associate broker for Realty One Group – Mountain Desert, a Flagstaff resident for 30 years. “For the last four or five years we’ve seen more evacuations, and with climate change, we haven’t had enough moisture lately to help lower the chances. When we do get rain, it’s usually in the form of a monsoon, which leads to flooding because there’s nothing to catch the water after an area has burned down.” Flood insurance is required if homeowners here live in designated flood zones.
